Carbon dioxide molecules are made up of three atoms (CO2), so they can absorb heat. It is thus called a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms can capture heat.
Oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) consist of a single atom each, so they don't capture heat.
infrared radiation
78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, carbon dioxide 0,04 %, etc.
carbon dioxide
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
yes - all things made by photosynthesis is based on nitrogen and carbon. The energy differential between these is how energy from the sun is consumed and makes plants absorb carbon dioxide, and need nitrogen (i.e. fertilizer and air) to support this process.
infrared radiation
The greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, ozone ( minor contribution), water vapour are the molecules of the gases which absorb infrared radiations.
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
Potassium Hydroxide can be used to absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
Lungs absorb gases from the air. These include oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The oxygen is higher in concentration outside of the lung and so passes into the lung and to the blood. The opposite is true of carbon dioxide. There is much more nitrogen than any other gas but it is passive and the body doesn't make use of nitrogen this way.
As more forest is being reduced that can absorb carbon dioxide.
78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, carbon dioxide 0,04 %, etc.
All carbonated drinks, including Coca Cola, use carbon dioxide (CO2).
Carbon dioxide absorb the sunlight.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
